Rolls Royce Cullinan

The interior cabin of the Rolls Royce is a balanced mix of traditional and retro design cues of Rolls Royce along with contemporary and modern features, which does make it look and feel great on the inside.

As expected from a Rolls Royce product, the cabin of the Cullinan is completely finished in exquisite leather, wood and metal bits. The three-spoke multi-functional steering wheel and the instrument console with analog dials give the driver’s cockpit an old school feel, and so does the dashboard layout with abundance of wood finish.

The centre console of the dashboard looks wide and is laid vertically, which accommodates the touchscreen infotainment system at the top and AC louvres and various controls for the audio system, four-zone automatic climate control, transmission and drive modes just below the infotainment system. The cabin can seat four people with an immense amount of comfort and convenience features as well as space on offer, which makes it a desirable place to be in.

With all the ingredients in just the right amount, the Rolls Royce Cullinan is easily one of the most opulent SUVs of all times. By no means it looks as if it is Rolls Royce’s first attempt in making an SUV, for the British carmaker has blended retro as well as modern design ethos very brilliantly.

The Rolls Royce Cullinan is blessed with the same big rectangular grille as seen on other Rolls Royce models, which features vertical chrome slats and has tapered chrome garnish at the top of it. The rectangular headlamps have rounded edges too and feature full-LED treatment, and the bonnet has a prominent bulge which flows all the way to the windscreen and features Rolls Royce’s much famed winged lady ornament as well.

The Rolls Royce Cullinan looks very huge when viewed from the sides, the gigantic appeal of which is accentuated by the rounded wheel arches, large 22-inch alloy wheels, large side windows and high ground clearance, all of which combine to give it a traditional SUV stance,

The Rolls Royce Cullinan has got a simple-looking rear profile, with a sharply raked huge windscreen and vertically placed small rectangular LED tail lamps with rounded edges.

The hefty looking Rolls Royce Cullinan features a suspension setup of double wishbone at the front and five-link axle at the rear. This suspension also features self-levelling air suspension, electrically actuated active anti-roll bars and electronically controlled dampers at both front and rear which makes the ride quality supremely comfortable. The four-wheel steering system is a boon for low-speed manoeuvrability, however, the huge size still can make it difficult for new drivers.

The Rolls Royce Cullinan sources its power from a 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged petrol engine, which is one of the biggest, most powerful and most refined engines in the world of modern-day automobiles. Paired to an 8-speed automatic gearbox, this engine churns out a maximum power output of 571 PS, while the peak torque output is rated at 850 Nm.

The Rolls Royce Cullinan is bestowed with standard safety features like front, side, curtain, overhead and knee airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, electronic stability control, traction control, assist emergency system, forward collision warning, front and rear parking sensors, 360-degree camera, lane departure warning, night vision, and tire pressure monitoring system.

The Rolls Royce Cullinan pitches itself as the best example when it comes to luxury SUVs, the credits of which goes to the humongous yet classy road presence, the impeccable luxurious cabin, the sorted suspension setup and the creamy smooth performance from the V12 engine under its hood.
